What color is this one?

Hi guys. Can anyone help me with the name or code of this brown color? I know it's a BMW Individual color, but i don't find it on BMW color pallete - it's not Mettalic A17 Havana. Someone told me it's called "royal brown 2" but i don't find any info related to this. thanks

yeah i think it's great too but not so many people love it. that's why it's "individual" . i had 3 bimmers, 2 black and 1 silver and i had enough of these 2 colors. i want to buy a F10 just like this one and i cant figure out what color is. I went to a BMW official dealer and they said they will send the picture to Munich, Germany because they can't tell either. thanks anyway

It changes a LOT depending on how much light hits it and the angle of the light

It can go from very light like in the picture of the nose of the 116i to very dark like the rear of the X1 picture

It may be Havana. I could not find a BMW Individual color with brown in without the individual Champagne Quartz Metallic when I ordered the 2012 mod.

The original photo has a lot of yellow (or red/orange) in it, which could be skewing the "match" by posters.

If I were to guess, I would vote for Marrakesh Brown (I saw this on an X1 at the Welt in Munich).

It's called Mojave Metallic in the U.S. If you order Marrakesh Brown, your car will look like crap (literally).
